Stark, mean-spirited zombie movie with the kind of gruesome gratification generally missing in American horror films.

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2003)

This well-paced creepshow by Danny Boyle works on a visceral level and it's basic "bad blood" premise is presented stylishly right from the start, beginning with a terrific prologue. The turn of events where the military squadron is revealed as interested in nothing but firing their guns and getting a woman is a high point midway through the picture, and carries it in a welcome new level right up until the rather too-pleasant conclusion...only minor quibbles with this generally smart take on an old formula.
